Due to big gaps in the #US' educational system, in particular with regard to long-time politicized #HistoryBooks, it is understandable that many people did not know about the #Nazi #AmericaFirst party in the 1930's…

if nukes are used, I'll bet it'l come from #rus I don't see who else would use them. Also they might not be done with solely #ukraine... they want lot of stuff around still.
And I'm afraid now that the US's nuclear umbrella over Europe has become unstable, if not retracted, that Putler will select a target that will cow the European remainder of NATO. It will not be a French or a UK town, it could be in the Kursk region. However, being an avid student of history, he will, I reckon, avoid striking former SU territory. On the other hand, Kursk is in Russia and would not mean striking a foreign country while still annihilating enemy forces...
The next one, though not with much military force, should be Moldova, IMO.
Finland?--They're probably the most prepared state in Western Europe. The Baltic States? They have been such an integral part of Russian history, then the strategic importance of Baltic seaports, no, there, it will not be by more conventional means.
So, yes, a major Finish or Swedish city, probably in the North, to avoid the spread of nuclear fallout by wind, in particular towards Russia.
...other hand, "you" usually go for the strongest adversary. In conventional military terms, that could be Poland. In economic terms, that would be Germany, the greatest financial pillar of #Ukraine.

OFC, the nuclear beast would be out of Pandora's box again, hard to ever get it back in again...

A strike with tactical nuclear missiles by the Kremlin at an EU town, you mean?
Would the UK and FR still uphold Article V? The MAGA government would not, that is clear since the #MSC2025, even if, say, Germany permitted " FreeSpeech" #MAGA style, aka #NaziTalk like in the 1930's and 40's again.
What do you do if s.o. is blackmailing you? Do you pay the money?

@HistoPol no, also i should be clearer, I don't think (or maybe hope?) that it'll be a war-war... more like an economic war, complete with crashes etc... which will change the poles of power.
I had thought so, too, until the end of last week or so. I had not counted on tRump showing his true colors within the first 10 days or so of his 2nd presidency.
